Comments on: The History of Tipping…in the Boykis Household http://blog.vickiboykis.com/2010/02/10/the-history-of-tipping-in-the-boykis-household/ Made in the USSR. Assembled in the USA. Spraypainted in Israel. Stuck in Philly.

I agree with you that in restaurants, you often don't know who's going to serve you at any given time, so tipping based on future service makes no sense in that case.

I tend to try out lots of different places rather than going to the same place all the time, so I'm not a regular anywhere and thus can afford to tip based on the actual level of service rather than a, hopefully, self-fulfilling promise of better service next time based on today's tip.

But I still tipped for the full price of the service. I LOVED the stylist and what she did with my hair (although if I want to keep it like this, I'm going to have to learn some major skills with the blowdrier and a round brush *never going to happen*). In any case, I figure that if I want her to give good service in the future -- and it's likely that I'll come back to her specifically -- I want to be remembered as a good tipper.

But that is perfectly fine. - I know I set a good example in cheapness that has been followed methodically. My daughter will never be in debt and/or go broke !

I am always really hesitant about leaving bad tips, although one time I left 8 cents and a really nasty note. I actually never spend more than $30 at hair salons (again, the cheap) so I don't tip more than $3. Although, judging by the state of my hair, maybe I should. I wish we had that, too!

Although I think you're not seeing clearly because of the pork roast haze. That's why I have my handy dandy tip calculator, aka Mr. B. His engineering degree has to be good for something.
